Amazon staff set to strike across Spain

Over a thousand workers at Amazon in Spain are to stage industrial action, with a two day strike announced.

The strike, which has been called by Spain’s largest union CCOO together with other unions, will take place between March 21 and 22 and will include 1,100 workers at Amazon’s San Fernando logistic warehouse on the outskirts of Madrid.

The union claims that a new contract will prevent staff gaining salary increases and overtime. Amazon has said it is in ongoing discussions with unions, whilst refuting the unions’ claims.
